btw, check out one of the more famous cases of a professor can have opinions that others find abhorrent ... most tipsters will disagree with his views on Chinese immigrants but perhaps they will like his view of railroads .. "A railroad deal is a railroad steal" .. he was a supporter of the Russian Revolution and was very active in the American Civil Liberties Union ... he was canned by Stanford

Tenure doesn't protect from one from a university carrying through it's procedures if a complaint is filed (for harassment, threats, etc.). Certainly his post was in bad taste (which he says he intended, it appears). The legislators are clearly interfering in ways that look, on the surface at least, to be stepping over a line with their power, at least one of good taste or a mature response. Whether such bullying will result in the end they desire remains to be seen. Most universities have pretty clear guidelines for what constitutes grounds for dismissal. I don't know their policies well enough to comment on that or on whether the offense is as serious as the legislators say (doubtful) or as trivial as he claims (relying on nuance, to use his words). Interesting to see where this goes. Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.
